Thank you for your reply. It is very hard to get providers to hear that the med is making things worse. Effexor takes 2 to 4 weeks to take effect. As he put me on 25 twice a day, a low dose,
I don't know whether it will do anything at all besides having the side effects which do not sound pleasant. On top of everything else I do not want to chance it. I am trying, CDB, just one drop which helps a little and I just got something for adrenal support at night, gaia for adrenal health. Do you remember the mg you were on and how you were tapered down? My heart goes out to you as I know how much suffering clon. can cause. So glad you are free of those meds. That is my goal and I am hoping for my dr's sport. He wanted me on the first found to reduce the dose by one half and said he would go slower if I insisted. He is still trying to find something that will help me reduce the pain, I am on increasing doses of gabapentin as well as lamictal. I thing enough is enough. Thanks again for sharing.
